Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Bobby’s Dad

The temperature in Linton City approached 0° late at night.

Enna Clark was woken up by the cold.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on the side of the road, with her phone and bag scattered all over the ground.

Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise she couldn’t imagine what would have happened to her.

Damn it!

Enna got up and looked around.

It was a suburban area, not a single car in sight.

Without a doubt, it must have been Baron Lawrence who had ordered his men to dump her here.

The high heels she had been holding earlier were now nowhere to be found. Even if she found them, she couldn’t handle the ten-inch heels. Resigned to her fate, Enna walked barefoot towards the city, one step deep, and the next shallow…

It took her two hours of walking before she finally managed to hail a taxi.

…

Being an extra was hard work and the pay was low.

With her meager income, she couldn’t afford to buy a house in Linton City. Olivia Lewis helped her find a small two-bedroom apartment to rent.

The taxi stopped outside the old-fashioned neighborhood where she lived. Enna paid the fare and went upstairs.

She fumbled for her keys and opened the door.

As soon as she entered, her phone rang.

She closed the door, took out her phone from her bag and saw that it was Olivia Lewis who had called. Enna rubbed her throbbing head and picked up the call.

“…Hello?”

“Enna Clark! Where the hell were you last night? I asked you to shoot a Uniqlo video, but you didn’t actually run off with a guy for a one-night stand, did you?” Despite her words, Olivia sounded very anxious.

As her consciousness from the night before gradually returned, Enna felt a splitting headache. She remembered that she had just returned to the country and went out with Olivia to a bar. They had drunk too much while playing drinking games, and Olivia insisted that she and a man play “UNIQLO Russian Roulette.” She was also drunk and got a bit wild, half-pushing and half-agreeing, and then she met… that man.

How could she have met Baron Lawrence in that situation and really play “Russian Roulette” with that man?

How did she get home last night? With Baron Lawrence’s foul temper, how did he not tear her to pieces?

Enna’s temples throbbed constantly as she sat down on the sofa, pouring herself a glass of water. It was only after drinking it that she felt slightly better.

“I’m asking you!” Olivia was especially anxious on the other end of the phone.

Enna rubbed her temples, feeling as if the night had drained her of all energy for the year. She was weak and exhausted, while Olivia continued to press for answers. She replied wearily, “No, I met someone I know. I’m already home now.”

“You just got back to the country, who could you know?”

“Bobby’s dad.”

“What?!” The sound on the other end of the line was so loud that it threatened to shatter her eardrums.

Enna cleaned her ears, able to imagine Olivia’s shocked expression as she jumped up from the other end without even having to look.

“Are you sure he’s that man?”

Olivia knew Enna had a boyfriend back in high school. But for some unknown reason, Enna suddenly went abroad. The next year, she gave birth to a child. The child, nicknamed Bobby and formally named Tobias Clark, was still living abroad under the care of an elderly couple. After a long time of questioning, Enna finally told her that the child was fathered by the man she’d dated before.

“I’m sure.”

“What happened after you met? And did you tell him about Bobby’s existence?”

“The child is mine, I gave birth to him, and I raised him. Why should I tell him?” Enna paused for a moment, her lips tightly pursed, “If he knew, I would definitely lose custody.”
